Ariel Helwani, one of MMA’s best known journalists, has been told that he will no longer be covering the Mayweather- McGregor press tour for Showtime sports.

Helwani tweeted earlier today that he only found out the news after he had taken the NY-LA red eye and that he believes that the UFC is behind the last minute decision.

UFC president Dana White once said that Helwani wouldn’t receive a credential as long as he was at the UFC, after the reporter broke a pair of stories (Lesnar return/McGregor-Nate Diaz rematch) without asking the promotion for a comment. Helwani’s ban was lifted in summer 2016.
